I’m running 20lb mono (yes I know it’s relatively high for mono) on an slx dc, I always seem to be loosing only chatter baits, I throw 3/4 once, with a keitech swimbait, and it seems like mid cast (as it’s in the air) it breaks off, with no backlash’s, or fraying of the line, is it because I’m casting far distances so the power I’m putting behind it is snapping? Or what could be causing it, my knots are solid, using improved clinch knots

Check your guides for any nicks or cracks. I lost a bunch of lures surf casting until I figured out that I had micro cracks in the guides that I could only see when the rod was bent/loaded for casting.
